Are they aware that 10TB is about 160$ in Hard drives>?
big HDDs are getting cheap. just checked, 16 tb is only 260E by now
Cheapest ssd $/tb is x2-3 that of the cheapest hdd. That's still significant.
For reference, you can buy a 2 TB SSD for $200 today. Same capacity as the 30 old drives, for much less space and cables.
Storage. 1TB+ SSDs are still quite pricey.
You can't compare 1TB hard disks, they are comparatively expensive. The cheapest per TB I can find right now is 20 euros for HDD, and 120euro for SSD. So factor 6 if you buy the cheapest, respectively.
He said external TB SSDs not USB SSDs. Check how much those cost. TB SSD of 4TB is like $1000.
When will prices of SSD catch up to rotational disks?
Wow 1TB SSD's are super cheap now..That's so cool.
Yes the cheapest ssd is more expensive /tb than the optimal one( which is ~1tb atm).
